So, I can assume when it's safe to go outside again. You guys will start the streaming back up?

Yeah, I'm kind of figuring it out through FTP. Any server configs you guys know?

Yeah I keep trying to use that one but how do you change the name of the server plus it doesn`t change the map.

Man I can`t seem to get the rcon tool working right to change maps. And how do you set your server name? Anyone have a walk through on how to st up a server or at least a good rcon tool?

I think you guys do a GREAT job on helping us fight hackers!

You can omit that step I didn`t do it.

Cool maybe I`ll turn it back on then, THX!

I`m making this posting for those of you who are like me and need a step by step guide for setting up a Call of Duty 4 server. My experience comes from playing BF2 and using bf2cc. Which most of you gamers and server admin don`t prefer. For me though, I like the all in one packages and up front server controllers but for other more educated admins the rcon is the way to go. Anyway here`s what I came up with for setting up a CoD 4 server. Go here http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38332 and go down to the 5th posting by EuT.be and click on ModernRcon_v0.4.zip.(save file) Find the file on your computer and right click on the folder. Hit EXTRACT ALL. Click on the folder without the zipper and find ModernRcon_v0.4.exe The ModernRcon box should pop up: From here fill in the DETAILS box.(label - your server name, Host - Your IP) Connect to your server that can now be located in your server box From here the Tabs are pretty up front. To update things you just click the send button. Some things you may have to go to your server host and access your control panel through them to change things. So, that`s setting up your CoD 4 server. Now you want server messages right? Well, welcome to the wonderful world of adding files to your configs. This is easy trust me. You can do all this from your server host control panel. Go here again http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38332 and go down to the 7th posting. Just pretty much copy and paste the text in the box but change it to what you want. You may have to play around a little to get it right but it`s easy. From the start: Log into your server host control panel. Locate your File Manager Click on your pb folder Inside the folder find pbsv.cfg and open it scroll down and add a new line pb_sv_load servermsg.cfg Save and close the file Now go up and create a new file in your pb folder called servermsg.cfg This is where you`re going to copy and paste from the link above that you modified for your server. Once you have this the way you want it, go to the ModernRcon and in the console put pb_sv_restart and hit enter. Now, do you have other clan members you want to be able to kick players who are not following the rules? Of course, so now this is a little tricky but also not to bad to do. Have your clan members join your CoD 4 server.(this is the easy way) Now you can do this one of two ways but I found doing it from inside the game was easier or worked for me. While in the game press ~ The console should pop up then put in /pb_plist This will show you the players on the server and what slot their in. It may go to fast and you won`t be able to see it so just press shift + ~ Then scroll until you see the players names. (you may need your rcon pw from here not sure I didn`t. If so, I believe it would be /rcon pw then enter) Now find the admin/player you want to be able to kick and right down his/her slot # Press ~ again and type pb_sv_power slot# 10 (this has now increased his pb power and he can now kick) Now that admin/player can do this and kick: press ~ pb_kick slot# of player being kicked 2 links for more info on the pb power: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/1...2/m/4171033853b http://www.punksbusted.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18137 If the above for whatever reason doesn`t work you can follow the same steps in the ModernRcon. Also, not sure if any of you have crossed this path either but you can be temp banned from your server if the players decide to do a kick vote against you. That`s for 1 hour unless you change the time in your server configs. So, what I did was turned it off. I`d like to thank all the other pbbans members who helped me with this guide. Especially Decap! If anyone has anything to add please do and if something may not be totally correct feel free to correct it. Sorry if this guide is all over the place but this is all I have learned in like 2 weeks. It`s been a PAIN in the A$$.

Cool thx

So I`m running the jpat 0.50b and I`m wondering if it`s working right? I click on my cod 4 server and hit update it says preparing FS...done Failed Update server master data done update finish failed cleaning FS done Why does it say the failed in there?

So, is there away to setup other admin accounts? As of now I use the ModernRcon_v0.4.exe and it uses my user name and password. From what I can see I would have to give my other clan members my user name and pw. Any ideas?

Can you walk me through that process of the big brother thing? I am the Head Admin of the server. Thx

I added my COD 4 server to my JPAT. Where the drop down menu for games, I don`t see COD 4 in there. If I use the regular COD will that still update my server? Thx

Thx, I just wanted you guys to know what was going on.

My server host has moved both of my servers so, their IP addresses have changed. Just an FYI for the PBBans Admin who gets our servers to stream. Thx Buster78
